We are the algorithm. Follow what you want to see, mute the rest. 🫡

no. that's your insecurity and entitlement talking.

its interesting that some people think that once someone reaches a certain number of followers, they are obligated to follow some arbitrary number of people to make them feel less insecure. as if the other persons life and social media accounts belong to them. the entitlement of this generation astonishes me sometimes. reject this kind of thinking in yourself. no one owes you anything. everything is a gift.

IMO, the important part is creating a follow list that provides the content that i want to see. It takes work to curate in order to create my own algorithm. I try to follow npubs with original thoughts and stay away from ones that only repost other people’s thoughts. I don’t give two shits about someone else’s follow list. I’m not a “cool kid” tho, so take this for what it’s worth.

Maybe they use multiple lists, and not just the main follow list. Some may prefer browsing on a relay by relay basis in a client like jumble.social. Others may want a focused feed rather than a firehose of content. I've always though follow count & lists, and judging you own and others value based on them, are legacy bullshit.

I’m following every pleb i can find 🫡🧡🫂💜. The more the better 🤙🏼

Less is more... Sometimes

Each have their personal preferences. I prefer to look at the quality of interactions than the number of follows

I'm a completionist. If I follow you I read every post. Although you aren't talking about me because I am definitely not one of the cool kids.

I follow the ones whose posts I don't want to miss - others will show up through reposts and discussion, or I can look at trending feeds or hashtags. But I can only keep up with so much, so I find the example of many of those higher-profile accounts helpful. Unless I set up a separate priority feed, about 150+ people seems about right.

Don't forget why privacy is important. Add public follows accordingly.

It’s not a thing of pride, it’s people curating their own algorithms and controlling their limited free time. Only a small number of people have the combination of skill and effort to have a large number of followers. In nostr, you get people to notice you by interacting with and contributing to their posts.

Yes, that is legacy crap

I follow whoever posts content that I like and doesn’t spam my feed with reposts
